Structural Challenges and A Role in New Health Policy Management in Future India

Abstract

The development of the Indian state has not been the leader in health and medical care top focus. Two noteworthy facts illustrate this. One is the health sector's low level of resource allocation and investment throughout time, which has been roughly 1% of GDP with a clear downward trend over the past ten years. Second, the unchecked, extremely quick growth of an unregulated private health industry, particularly in the past 20 years. Health policies are typically thought of as official written papers, regulations, and guidelines that represent the decisions made by legislators regarding the actions required to promote health and fortify the healthcare system. A common misconception about the "policy process" is that it proceeds logically and linearly from formulation to execution. Health policy is formulated through a multifaceted process that is influenced by numerous scientific, economic, social, and political factors. Within the context of the development of the nation's health sector, this study looks at the historical evolution of health policy making in India. Additionally, it assesses the current situation and offers suggestions for the course of future governmental initiatives.
